Accoquat® CS-4000 is a unique blend of cationic emulsifiers in a blended solvent system especially designed for micro-emulsification of formulations of mineral seal oils (MSO) or other organic hydrophobes. It micro-emulsifies MSO effectively with ethylene glycol mono butyl ether as its coupling agent. Accoquat® CS-4000 can produce micro-emulsions with MSO from 10-30% MSO concentration, (depending on the properties of the MSO), however is most cost effective from 15-30% MSO concentrations. Accoquat® CS-4000 generally does not require additional emulsifiers or other nonionic surfactants to produce an easily dispersible and fine micro-emulsion for rapid beading and spreading. With substantially less emulsifier it is very cost effective for ultra-type drying aids. Upon dilution in water, its unique blend of chemistries provides a consistently-functioning, high-performance, very fine micro-emulsion with MSOs. It is manufactured in USA.

Accoquat® EZ-Dry 8000 HF is an extension of our proprietary Accoquat CS Ultra HF technology designed for ease of use. This car drying aid only requires the addition of water to make a full range of car drying aid products (dilution range of 1:1200 to 1:150) providing an easy way to formulate a wide range of drying aids without the need for other raw materials. It covers all ranges of formulation concentrations while minimizing formulation stability concerns. It is manufactured in USA.

Accoquat® CS-3000 functions as a solvent with multiple uses. It is easy to handle and may be used for water repellency, emulsification of oils, and hydrophobic materials, as an anti-static agent, fabric and textile softener, paper de-bonder, automatic car wash rinse aid and vehicle drying aid. It is manufactured in USA.
